Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels play key roles in sensory biology as transducers of various stimuli. Although these ion channels are expressed in the cochlea, their functions remain poorly understood. Recent studies by Vélez-Ortega and colleagues indicate that their expression by non-sensory supporting cells helps limit damage from acoustic trauma.
